Ive watched the trailer myself and as a Black dude I didnt find anything offensive about it... I think its more offending that shes called trash lady...

if you go to the South thats how most people( not just blacks) speak

Being from the deep south, I can tell you that no one currently uses the dialect that Letitia uses. Saying that any American speaks like this character is like saying there are still Americans that use Elizabethan English in 2011. It's not racist it's just ignorant. 

No buddy YOU ARE WRONG!!!! I lived in Tucson for only 2 years, and although I didn't meet too many people, working at Home Depot I met at least a couple of people that spoke like or VERY similar to Letitia, and one of them worked at one of the customer service desks near my Lead Generator help desk. Now if we were to say lots of people speak this way it would be a lie, but there are some out there. Now if in Deus Ex most black people spoke this way, different story, but this is the only encountered character with this accent and dialect (so far). P.S. I would hope Tucson, AZ is considered part of the south because if it isn't, then we all need a new compass.

Either someone went back in time 180 years to hire some runaway slaves to come to Tucson, or you can't tell the difference between modern black speech patterns and an outdated one. And as I've stated before, the fact that Letitia is the only character that speaks this way in the game makes her stand out even more. She's out of place in a game based in 2027 because no one speaks like that in 2011.

EDIT: And Arizona is actually the Southwest not the Deep South, so you'd have an easier time of finding people with similar speech patterns of Californians that that of someone with a traditional southern accent. Unless they just moved to there from Alabama or something.
